INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 – MARCH 31, 2025
The margins improved in both business areas in line with our priorities and initiatives. The debt level continued to decrease, and we have achieved our ambition to lower the net debt in relation to EBITDA to below 3.0. AddLife is now ready to gradually increase acquisition activity, and at the beginning of April, the acquisition of Edge Medical was completed.

Margin improvement continues, the debt level is reduced, and acquisition activity increases

Sales development was positive during the quarter, driven by Labtech with strong sales growth across all segments and geographies. Within Medtech sales growth was affected by the United Kingdom, where the normally strong first quarter was weaker this year compared to last year's high level of instrument sales. The future prospects in the UK healthcare markets are good. In other areas within Medtech, sales generally developed well, and sales of consumables related to surgical procedures increased.
The work to drive organic growth by gaining market share and developing the product portfolio is ongoing, and clear progress is being made in these areas.
AddLife's companies have their customers primarily in healthcare and research. Demand in these areas is stable and generally not sensitive to economic fluctuations. With over 90 percent of sales and 80 percent of suppliers within Europe, AddLife's companies are well-positioned in a market situation with increased uncertainty around global trade.
The efforts to drive margin improvements remain a high priority, and during the first quarter, we see continued clear improvements in both Labtech and Medtech. The strengthened margins are driven by extensive improvement work in some specific companies, continuous gradual improvements in all companies, and a general movement of the product portfolio towards more profitable segments and product groups.
After achieving a very strong cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2024, a lower cash flow followed in the first quarter of 2025, as expected. However, compared to the first quarter of the previous year, cash flow improved significantly, and in combination with positive currency effects, this led to a strengthening of the balance sheet. Net debt in relation to EBITDA decreased to 2.8, and the ambition to reach 3.0 or below has now been achieved. AddLife will now gradually increase acquisition activity in accordance with established plans. In early April, the acquisition of Edge Medical was completed, a company with strong growth, high profitability, and that meets the acquisition criteria we have defined. The UK company Edge Medical has strong customer and supplier relationships and a product portfolio in orthopedic surgery, a prioritized segment for AddLife. In the acquisition process, AddLife has been able to leverage our companies' presence in geographic markets as well as deep product knowledge, which will also be significant assets when further developing the business.

The companies within AddLife continue to develop very well and in accordance with our priorities and business model. Our market positions provide good stability despite uncertainty in the world. The determined work to improve margins, drive organic growth, and improve cash flow and reduce debt continues. The work has yielded results, and we are now ready to gradually increase acquisition activity.
I would like to conclude by thanking the team for their valuable efforts during the first quarter of the year and warmly welcoming Edge Medical to the AddLife family!
Fredrik Dalborg President and CEO

Net sales in the quarter increased by 5 percent to SEK 2,702m (2,570). Organic growth, excluding exchange rate effects, was 4 percent and the acquired growth was 1 percent. Exchange rate effects had a marginally negative impact on net sales during the quarter, amounting to SEK -6m.

NET SALES QUARTER
Increased revenue with an improved gross margin and largely unchanged costs resulted in EBITA increased by 18 percent to SEK 343m (291), and the EBITA margin amounted to 12.7 percent (11.3). Exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted EBITA by SEK -1m.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -63m (-86) and profit after financial items amounted to SEK 172m (100). Net financial items primarily include interest expenses related to financing of previous acquisitions and exchange rate fluctuations. Interest expenses amounted to SEK -58m (-77) and exchange rate loss to SEK -1m (-9). The profit after tax for the quarter was SEK 120m (63) and the effective tax rate was 30 percent (37). The slightly high effective tax rate is attributable to the effect of non-deductible interest.
The geopolitical situation in Ukraine and the Middle East has not had any significant economic impact on the financial reports, but it cannot be ruled out that it may do so in the future. With approximately 90 percent of sales and 80 percent of purchases in Europe, AddLife should not be heavily exposed to tariffs and trade barriers by the USA or by other countries as countermeasures. However, there is a risk that subcontractors and components further down the supply chain may be subject to tariffs or trade barriers. We are closely monitoring market developments regarding inflation, tariffs and trade barriers, raw material, component and freight costs, as well as interest rate trends.

The equity ratio at the end of the interim period was 41 percent (41). Equity per share totalled SEK 41.99 (43.54) and the return on equity at the end of the interim period was 6 percent (5). Return on working capital, P/WC (EBITA in relation to working capital) amounted to 53 percent (51).
The Group's interest-bearing net debt at the end of the interim period amounted to SEK 4,506m (4,920), including pension liabilities of SEK 62m (62), leasing liabilities of SEK 511m (531) and contingent considerations corresponding to SEK 90m (106). Outstanding bank loans at the end of the interim period amounted to SEK 4,183m (4,433), of which short-term bank loans were SEK 1,766m (749).
The Group has a good margin in the covenants applicable under the banking agreements, which stipulate an interest coverage ratio of at least 4.0 times and an equity ratio exceeding 25 percent. As of the end of the interim period, the interest coverage ratio was 6.0 times according to the definition in the bank agreements.
The net debt/equity ratio was 0.9 compared to 0.9 at the beginning of the interim period. The intention is to reduce debt through self-generated cash flow.
Cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash and bank balances, together with approved but non-utilised credit facilities, totalled SEK 1,307m (1,311) on March 31, 2025.
The cash flow from current operations during the quarter amounted to SEK 240m (97), mainly attributable to a higher result after financial items. During the interim period, paid out contingent consideration related to acquisitions of companies in previous years amounted to SEK 13m (7). Net investments in non-current assets during the interim period amounted to SEK 64m (61) and are mainly attributable to investments in instruments for rental to customers. Exercised, issued and repurchased call options amounted to SEK 0m (-12).

At the end of the interim period, the number of employees was 2,251, compared to 2,256 at the beginning of the financial year. The average number of employees for the last 12-month period was 2,298 (2,297).

Companies in the Labtech business area are active in the market areas diagnostics, biomedical research and laboratory equipment.

Labtech's net sales increased by 15 percent in the first quarter to SEK 989m (863). The organic sales growth amounted to 12 percent and the acquired growth amounted to 3 percent. Exchange rate changes had a marginally negative impact on net sales. EBITA increased by 21 percent to SEK 120m (99), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 12.1 percent (11.5).

NET SALES QUARTER
The development in Labtech was positive during the quarter, with growth across all segments and geographies. Instrument sales were higher compared to the relatively low volume in the first quarter of 2024. Margins strengthened during the quarter thanks to higher volumes but also due to ongoing improvement and efficiency efforts within several companies, which are now yielding concrete results.

The diagnostics business is stable and growing, while some caution and uncertainty still exist regarding investments, particularly in academic research. Demand from customers in the pharmaceutical industry remains strong.
Results from tenders won in previous quarters have started to show, and important new tenders have also been won during the first quarter.
The companies within AddLife provide market-leading service, which creates strong customer and supplier relationships and differentiation as other players cut back on service resources.
Active work is underway to develop product portfolios and bring in new suppliers of advanced products within prioritized segments, and progress is being made.


EBITA (SEKM)


Companies in the Medtech business area provide medical device products within the medtech market and assistive equipment within Homecare.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEKm | 2025 | 2024 | % | Mar 2025 | 2024 |

| EBITA | 231 | 198 | 16 | 779 | 746 |
| EBITA margin, % | 13.5 | 11.6 | 12.0 | 11.5 |
Net sales within Medtech increased marginally to SEK 1,714m (1,708) during the first quarter. Organic growth amounted to 0.4 percent and exchange rate had a marginally negative impact on net sales. EBITA increased by 16 percent to SEK 231m (198), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 13.5 percent (11.6).

Most companies within Medtech experienced positive sales development during the quarter, but overall growth was low primarily because sales in the UK were not as strong as the previous year. The future prospects in the UK healthcare markets remain positive. The margin improved significantly due to gradual profitability improvements in most companies and significant improvements in some specific companies.

In the UK, sales to the national healthcare system NHS are typically strong during the first quarter, both in consumables and instrument sales. In the first quarter of 2025, sales to the NHS were good but not as strong as in the corresponding quarter of 2024 when several large instrument deliveries were made. Despite lower instrument sales in the UK, the margin improved compared to the previous year.
Sales in ophthalmic surgery decreased during the quarter as a result of pruning the product portfolio to focus on profitable products. The margin in ophthalmic surgery continued to strengthen, in line with the positive trend that is now established. Relationships with suppliers have generally strengthened, and key suppliers have returned to our companies.
Pruning of the product range to focus on more profitable products occurred in several parts of the business, which has led to higher margins and, in some cases, reduced sales.
In Homecare, demand was somewhat subdued due to restrained investments, especially in renovation and new construction projects. The long-term underlying positive drivers, such as an aging population and new technologies, remain unchanged.
Efforts to expand the product portfolio with new advanced products are making progress, and the trend of larger product companies reviewing their commercial strategies continues, providing opportunities for companies within AddLife to take over new product portfolios.

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, applying IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Disclosures according to IAS 34.16A are presented not only in the financial statements and accompanying notes but also in other parts of the interim report. The Parent Company's interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Market Act which is in compliance with recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The same accounting principles and calculation methods as in AddLife's 2024 annual report have been applied to the interim report.
Changes in IFRS standards applicable from January 1, 2025, have not had any impact on AddLife's financial statements for the interim period ended March 31, 2025.
Comparative figures in the interim report for income statement items refer to the value for the period January–March 2024, and for balance sheet items as of December 31, 2024, unless otherwise stated.
The Group is covered by the OECD's model rules for Pillar II. Legislation on Pillar II has been adopted in Sweden, where AddLife AB is based, and entered into force on January 1, 2024. The Group's exposure to the legislation under Pillar II has been calculated and analyzed. The company assesses that the effect is not material in the first quarter of 2025.
AddLife's earnings and financial position, as well as its strategic position, are affected by various internal factors within AddLife's control and various external factors over which AddLife has limited influence. AddLife's most significant external risks are the state of the economy and market trends combined with public sector contracts and policy decisions, as well as competition. The risks and uncertainties are the same as in previous periods. For more information, see the section "Risks and uncertainties" in the administration report, in AddLife's annual report 2024. The parent company is indirectly affected by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the Group.
The geopolitical situation in Ukraine and the Middle East has not had any significant economic impact on the financial reports, but it cannot be ruled out that it may do so in the future. With approximately 90 percent of sales and 80 percent of purchases in Europe, AddLife should not be heavily exposed to tariffs and trade barriers by the USA or by other countries as countermeasures. However, there is a risk that subcontractors and components further down the supply chain may be subject to tariffs or trade barriers. We are closely monitoring market developments regarding inflation, tariffs and trade barriers, raw material, component and freight costs, as well as interest rate trends.
No transactions with related parties that materially affected the Group's financial position and earnings took place during the interim period.
The fair value and carrying amount are recognized in the balance sheet as shown in the table below. For quoted securities, the fair value is determined on the basis of the asset's quoted price in an active market, level 1. At the reporting date the Group had no items in this category. For currency contracts and embedded derivatives, the fair value is determined on the basis of observable market data, level 2. For contingent considerations, a cash flow-based valuation is performed, which is not based on observable market data, level 3. For the Group's other financial assets and liabilities, fair value is estimated to essentially correspond to the carrying amount.

This interim report has not been subject to review by the company's auditors.

| Number of employees at the end of the period |
The number of employees in the Group at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the degree of employment. This measure is used to know how many employees the Group has at the end of the year. |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on equity | Profit/loss after tax attributable to shareholders, as a percentage of shareholders' proportion of average equity. Return on equity measures from an ownership perspective the return that is given on the owners' invested capital. |
|||
| Return on working capital (P/WC) |
EBITA in relation to average working capital. P/WC is used to analyse profitability and encourage high EBITA earnings and low working capital requirements. |
|||
| EBITA | Operating profit before amortization and write-down of intangible assets. EBITA is used to analyse profitability generated by operational activities. |
|||
| EBITA margin | EBITA as a percentage of net sales. The EBITA margin is used to analyze value creation from the operating activities. |
|||
| EBITDA | Operating profit before depreciation, amortization and write-down. EBITDA is used to analyse profitability generated by operational activities. |
|||
| Equity per share | Shareholders' proportion of equity divided by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period. |
|||
| Financial net | Financial income minus financial expenses. Used to describe the development of the Group's financial activities. |
|||
| Acquired growth | Changes in net sales attributable to business acquisitions compared to the same period the previous year. Acquired growth is used as a component to describe the development of the Group's net sales, where acquired growth is distinguished from organic growth, divestments, and currency effects. |
|||
| Adjusted EBITA | EBITA excluding one-off costs. Increases the comparability of EBITA over time as it is adjusted for the impact of items considered to be non-recurring in nature and therefore do not reflect the underlying operations. |
|||
| Adjusted EBITA margin | Adjusted EBITA in relation to net sales. Used to measure the company's profitability excluding the impact of items considered to be non-recurring in nature and therefore do not reflect the underlying operations. |
|||
| One-off costs | Primarily refers to restructuring costs and revaluation of contingent considerations. Other non-recurring items may also be reported as one-off costs if this provides a more accurate view of the underlying operating result. |

| Cash flow from operating activities per share |
Cash flow from operating activities, divided by the average number of shares. The measure is used to allow investors to easily analyze the amount of surplus from ongoing operations generated per share. |
|---|---|
| Net investments in fixed assets |
Investments in fixed assets minus sales of fixed assets. The measure is used to analyze the Group's investments in the renewal and development of tangible fixed assets. |
| Net debt/equity ratio | Financial net liabilities in relation to shareholders' equity. Net debt/equity ratio is used to analyse financial risk. |
| Organic growth | Changes in net sales excluding currency effects and acquisitions/divestments compared to the same period the previous year. Organic growth is used to analyze the underlying sales growth driven by changes in volume, product range, and price for similar products between different periods. |
| Profit after financial items | Profit/loss for the period before tax. Used to analyse the business' profitability including financial activities |
| Earnings per share | Shareholders' share of the period's result divided by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period. |
| Earnings per share before dilution |
Shareholders' share of the period's result divided by the average number of outstanding shares. |
| Earnings per share after dilution |
Shareholders' share of the period's result divided by a weighted average of the number of outstanding shares, adjusted for the additional number of shares upon the exercise of outstanding options. |
| Profit growth EBITA | The period's EBITA decreased by previous period's EBITA divided by the previous period's EBITA. Profit growth EBITA is used to analyse asset-creating generated from operational activities. |
| Financial net liabilities | Interest-bearing liabilities and interest-bearing provisions, less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is used to monitor debt development and analyse financial leverage and any necessary refinancing. |
| Financial net liabilities/EBlTDA |
Financial net liabilities divided by EBITDA. Financial net liabilities compared with EBITDA provides a key financial indicator for financial net liabilities in relation to cash-generated operating profit; i.e., an indication of the ability of the business to pay its debts. This measure is generally used by financial institutions as a measure of creditworthiness. |
| Working capital | Sum of inventories and accounts receivable, less accounts payable. In the calculation of P/WC, average working capital is used. Working capital is used to analyse how much working capital is tied up in the business. |
| Equity ratio | Equity including minority interest as a percentage of total assets. The equity ratio is used to analyse financial risk and shows how much of the assets are financed with equity. |

This report contains financial key figures in accordance with the frameworks applied by AddLife, which are based on IFRS. In addition, there are alternative performance measures (APM) that cannot be directly extracted or derived from the financial statements. These key figures are essential for understanding and evaluating AddLife's operations and financial position. They should not be seen as a replacement for the measures defined according to IFRS but rather as a complement to the financial reporting. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. The key figures are presented below and commented on in other parts of the interim report.
